Not more tlian an liour nftfr the liall
had been omntlctl of Its 1700 anarchists,
who listened to MIbs Goldman' sacri
legious utterances. Turn Hall was de
stroyed by fire. This mornlni: nothing re
mnln to mark lt place In tho history of
restless Paterson except charred timbers
and blackened brlclc.
Turn Hall, temple of 1. W. W. and an
nrchl.it propntiandn. was razed to the
ground shortly after midnight. N'ot a

"Pat" Quintan, William Sumner Uoyd

The Anarchists openly Ueoliiro It was
supporters of the Sunday campaign .who
were responsible for tho eonllunrntlon,
one of their number havlni; purposely
dropped a liKhted cigarette upon the
stage while Kinrna GiWilman was venting
her blasphemies.
On the other hand, ministers and prom
inent laymen regard It as a Judgment
from God that the ball should have been
destroyed.
Not since the fnmnus Paterson Hre a
few years ago has this city known such
a conflagration.
Emma Goldman finished her address on
"Tha Failure of Christianity," and her
vehement attacks upon Sunday shortly
before 11 o'clock. It was another 13 min
utes before Turn Hall, which bad been
packed with anarchists from evei-ywnoin
within 50 miles of New York, was emptied
ot them, and hundreds of mill workers
who had applauded Miss Goldman's sacri
legious speech
At midnight thcie was no hope nf sav
ins the building. Raines were pouring
from It. the rnof wa caved In and the
countryside, for miles around, was bright
as day with the rellectin of lh" tlrp.
There were no injuries, although the fire
men had to tight madly to prevent the
spread of the lire to the wooden tene
ments and bu3lness houses.
"Itte God's Judgment." say tho Chris
tians of the city, nnd they point for con
firmation to the fact that Turn Hall, the
heart of labor unnst anil anarchy for
years, the hall from which Brescl went
forth to assassinate King Humbert, has
been burned down for the fourth time.

king, and, what was worse, he did not get
back to tho Polo Grounds in time to
toss out the first hall In the Phillies
Giants' battle, and all because of the
chauffeur who did not know New York.
That chauffeur was tho exclusive property
of Mrs. Garret A. Hobart, widow of thn

Two youths, who put up a light when
tho police surrounded them after they
lind cracked a safe In a store of tho
James Boll Company, 2SU Gormantown

ing to the police, to be members of a
band which has been confining Its efforts
solely to stores nf this company for some
llmo. The prlsoneis, who were taken
to City Hall for a hearing this morning,
described themselves as Henry Miller. 21
years old, nasi Hartvilla avenue, and
Harry Bawnos, 3 ears old, of 251
Wensley street.
They were held without ball for oourt
by Magistrate Benton nt Central station.
Tho young burglais had chiseled ol
the hack of a safe on the tlrst floor of tho
store, and made so much nolso tinkering
with It that neighbors summoned Poliip

police then separated and with drawn re-
I volvera uuletly started n search through
the building. The police searched the en
tire tlrxt nnd second floors before a sus
piiious noise came from thp upper story.
Grllley. who was In the lead, shunted
for the Intruders to surrender or the po
lice would open fire. The only rrpl wns
the banging of a door. The latter, when
the hluecoats reached It. they found

open nnd when it gave way two of the
"cops" were thiown Inside the room on
the lloor. Miller and D.iwnns, according
to the police, thought tliov had only the

In the arrest of Preston Yates, who
roomed In a house at :'501 North 1'ark
avenue. Special Policemen Mellen nnd
Richardson believe they have ended tho
epidemic of robberies that has terriorlaeti
residents of Logan during the winter.
More than &000 worth of Jewelry and
other valuables were stolen from house
holders In that section, and the prisoner
volunteered to tak the police through tho
district today in an automobile and point
out tho homes he robbed. Vntcs. accord
ing to tho police. Is u carpenter, but

Yates la In a cell nt City Hall. He waa
arrested last week and the police found
nbout n hatful of 'pawn tickets in his
room at tho Park avenue address. When
ho was confronted with this evidence of
his alleged guilt today the prisoner con
fessed, but said he was responsible only
tor tho entries murle with n cold chisel.
YateH method, according to the police,
was to force his way Into nil unoccupied
house and climb to nearby residences by
wav of porch roofs. Tho other robberies
in tho hpetion aro believed to have been
the work of Carl Kabrey, who escaped
from the Knstern Penitentiary a snort
time ago and Is still nt large. Kabrey
was serving a seven-year sentence
When Adam Sheering saw Ave h.lthy
looklns shad lying In the wagon of a
huckster today ho hnppened to remember
that the fishing season had opened. He
was also awara of the fact that he had
no fish or line nor the fare to the fishing
banks. Tho silvery looking shad as they
cllnted In the sunlight proved too great
a temptation for Adam and he carried
nil Ave away on his shoulders, the police
say Shortly after the tlsh had disap
peared Reuben Royal, their owner, of Ml
North nth street, told Seigeant Shad, of
the Front and Master streets station. Now
Sergeant Shad has rtve little Shad ot his
own at home and they are all live wires,
o he readily sympathized with Reuben.
After following a circuitous trail Shad
found that the flvo shad stolen by Sheer
ng had been left In a stable. Shad, the
sergeant, hid In the stable and when
Sheering returned with a knife to get
shad the Ash. Shad the sergeant caught
Sheering and took him to tho Front and
Master streets station, with shad, tho tlsh,
over his shoulder.
When Sheering told Magistrate Scott,
the practical Judge, that the shad hyp
notUed him with their beautiful scales,
the Judge said that was entirely too fishy,
and added.

The Intentions of BUI Blefflns are good,
but they often bring him sad results.
Bill concluded that the patients In St.
Mary's Hospital were very down-hearted
and he sought to cheer them up. There's
nothing like music, BUI concluded, to
make you happy, ao he sang for several
hours; pausing only very rarely to get
a breath. Francis Scully, who looks after
the peace of the hospital patients, hunted
for the nolae for a long1 lime. Finally he
found Bill wedged in a doorway elaglng
everything from the extet from
"Lucia" to "Alabam." At times he acts
as his own orchestra and Imagined he

Clouds of smoke hung over mnny parts

the nsscrtlon of forest tire lighters that

hut there is rro Immediate danger of great
country linusro In that section being wiped
out. which wns n real menace last night.
Tho condition is general in many parts
of Pennsylvania nnd New Jersey, and is
caused not only by the lack of rain, but
bv the cxcccptlonal spring, the absence
nf the usual Moods having aggravated
the excessive dryness of all wooded dls
li lets.
Fine estates In Montgomery County
were threatened by the. flames. The lire.
which extended from Mt. Pleasant, back
of Strafford, nlong Chester Valley to
North Wayne, wns fought by many
scores of volunteer tire lighters, who de
clared this morning that the Unities wero
well under control.
Tho flames came within .10 fent of tho
residence of Mrs. Frank Shoemaker he
fore they were stopped. Mr. Shoemaker
Is on n trip to the Pacific roaM, and
Mrs. Shoemaker was homo with her two
young children. Mabel, " years old, and

returned to bis charge. Mr. Rhodes wns
notified In March that ho would be free
from duty on April 1. and would be
given two months' holiday, with pay.
during which lime he was to look for
other employment. Tho action by the
bishop In dismissing him, It Is said, grew
out of n contiovcrsy which was said to
lip the tiphol of tho dlsscntlon between
lllshop nhlnelnnder's friends and the Rev.
(ieorgo Chalmers Richmond, rector of
si. John's Church, this city.
Members of the parish at ardley re
gretted exceedingly the loss of tho Rev.
Mr. Rhodes, ns ho had worked hard In
tho small church and hnd become popular
with the Yardley residents as well as
with his parish. Howover. since a por
tion ot the minister's salary was paid by
the HIocpso of Pennsylvania, there wns
nothing to do nt Hint tlmo but nblde by
the bishop's orders.
When prolpstatlons nnd petitions proved
of no avail, the members who favored
the voung minister Anally obtained a out
tlclcnt number of pledges to insure the
amount of his salary without tho aid of
the diocese. This plnccd tho parish n

two weeks after the Rev. Mr. Rhodes

The salary of tho minister of St. An-rit-pw'a
Church has been Axed at $1000. Of
this amount K'O had been paid in the past
bv the congregation, the remainder being
supplied by the Diocese of Pennsylvania.
At the recent, meeting of the vestry, In
which the call was noted, the additional

The controversy which resulted In
